People often prefer to travel by train for long distance journeys. But sometimes there are many routes like this. Wherever you book train tickets, you do not get vacant seats. By the time you book, there is already a waiting list. Sometimes, even after booking through Tatkal quota, the ticket is available in the waiting list. Indian Railways releases waiting list so that if a person is unable to travel for some reason and gets his ticket cancelled. So that seat does not go vacant. And the passengers from the waiting list should be allotted. Which ticket of both the waiting lists, normal and Tatkal, gets confirmed first? Let us know.
GNWL ticket gets confirmed first
When you make a normal reservation and get a waiting list, then GNWL and number appear next to your waiting list. And if you book a ticket through Tatkal quota and in such a situation you get waiting list, then TQWL and waiting list number are written on the front of your ticket. According to railway rules, waiting list tickets booked through general reservation are confirmed first. After this, the waiting ticket made from Tatkal quota is confirmed.
What is the reason behind this
Actually, people who book tickets in the normal way. And their waiting arrives. He can travel on waiting ticket. But if the ticket booked online in Tatkal quota comes in waiting list. And it is not confirmed when the chart is prepared. So in such a situation it gets cancelled. That means you cannot travel with that ticket. There are chances of Tatkal ticket getting confirmed from wherever it is booked. But tickets in the general waiting list can be confirmed by going to any station between the journeys.
